have secured the services of Mr..
Samuel REGISTER, favorably and

as lately representing Messrs

Mr.. Taylor and Mr.. REGISTER
have just returned from I. two
weeks soiourn North, where they
carefnllyselected the present stock,
buy ing in. all cases quantities at

themselves either in assortment,

Its by far the largest and most
complete line ever brought into
the Southern States; indeed, we
feel safe in asserting that there are
few Suntliy departments in the
United States to compete with this
one and none toeXctl it-celtaiulv

izens may all justly feel pride in
this new and cnlerpri>lng feature.
AS oar merchants increase their
facilities they render onl CITY more

be followed.
